   Palin is “delusional?” If she is such an insignificant nobody, why does the left constantly talk about her?

   @ IT Nerd.

   Cause she isn’t. We know it. And they know it. But like a kid in the school yard who puts on a tough face, they go home crying.

   And I liked MAD TV. They were much better than SNL. SNL is pretty much just running on the fumes of “star power” (term used loosely) and reputation.

   The problem with comedians is this. If your thing isn’t politics (I.E Lewis Black) stay the hell out of politics. You are a comedian, your job is to observe real life situations and make milk come out of my nose. Not gimme a lecture on your political views and who you like. And thats where the problems came in. Comedians bashed Bush for 8 years. But thats fine. Making fun of people is their job. But when they start praising them or just plain leaving them out of their act cause they are too afraid to say anything or cause they nothing but tools, thats when I stop watching.

   And of course conversely, there’s a practically a no name comedian whos name I cant remember who his entire act was pretty much a 30 min Bush bashing session. Lame.

   On those “gatecrashers” at the WH … this lack of security could be scarry — The *last* thing we want is for some whacko (who will be a leftist, but we conservatives will get the blame) to assasinate Zero, the Won, and thus allow the leftists another “martyr” in whose name we must all come together to destroy America.

   We want Obama and the Obamanation to fail right out in piblic.

   “Property Owners Get Dunked On”
   And this after the Kelo property was just in the news because the company closed its doors and is trying to sell off the land.
   “Is Obama’s civil liberties record understandable?”
   Yes, but it’s so much harder to understand when it’s not Bush and you can’t just yell “Fascist!”
   “University bubble bursting?”
   It’s about time. When I went to Wayne State University in Detroit, the president was Adamani. He vowed to make WSU affordable, and that included keeping tuition hikes so low that students could get taxbreaks on their state taxes. Money into restoring existing buildings rather than doing teardowns everywhere. Parking was a dollar for the day, which made commuting cheap (and safe). When he retired, the first thing the new administration did was to hike the tuition and force students to pay for facilities they couldn’t use (like the recreation buildings with limited hours for non-athletes.) I was working full-time and taking classes in the evening, and at one point I had to take a second job because the tuition went up so drastically from the time I signed for classes and the time they began.

   Also, Victor Davis Hanson had a column at NRO about low-wage, part-time instructors teaching the majority of the classes. So why aren’t savings passed on to the students?

   “WhiteHouse.gov Plays Media Critic: Calls Krauthammer’s Washington Post Column ‘Wholly Inaccurate’”
   Yet hasn’t answered any of the pertinent points of Krauthammer’s column. How did these people graduate from high school, let alone universities?

   “Does anyone read Mad anymore? The TV show sure sucked. I guess that’s why it got canceled”
   My library doesn’t carry it anymore. The kids prefer fun things. MAD TV was good in the beginning, but it was never as good as The State. Do you remember that, Bob?

   “Uninvited Pair Met Obama; Secret Service Offers Apology”
   I agree with Ilion and take it one step further: Who wants wackjobs thinking they even have a CHANCE of sneaking in?

   “70 deaths on ward of shame”
   It sounds worse than a field hospital. But I’d hesitate to blame “lazy nurses”, as the headline did. I have a friend who is a UK nurse; she had forced time off because she’d met her hours for the years. And she had to wait for a dentist because the sign-up window hadn’t arrived; and her needing a rootcanal!

   If we can get the government of some State (Alaska, say) to invoke Kelo as an eminent domain pretext for economic development of some land currently owned by some department of the Federal government (ANWR, say) … how long so you think it will be before the Kelo decision is overturned?
